I think you meant "not" instead of "now" in that sentence.

Don't use old national currencies that have been retired in favor of 
the Euro.  GnuCash knows about these and uses a fixed exchange rate for 
them.  I haven't been following this discussion closely so I don't know 
exactly what you're trying to do, but this won't work.  You'll need to 
find some other way to accomplish you goal.
